I am supposed to be meeting DR FJL for dinner tonight.
I think I am going to need a drink first. And during.
And probably an appointment with my hairdresser tomorrow as I shall probably be pulling all my hair out today.

So anyone who wants to see me bald - just stop on over tomorrow morning.

Hmmm... Should I head on over to DR FJL's place tonight too, then?

-And I really hope your urges to pull out your hair dissipate once you are ensconced in the comfort of Chez Landau & Kennon & Toby & Dylan.

LOL. I know - I always want to be included in a Skip dinner, too!
Actually, this is one of those rare times when we shall not be at Chez Skip and Fred. Fred and I are meeting a visiting out of town friend at a restaurant for dinner.

Maybe we can all sneek by and surprise Skip afterwards, and demand dessert?? Hmmm. Yes.
(Just kidding, Fred)

Well, surely there must be leftovers from last night's birthday feast?

Glad you had fun the past couple days at work, Jose. You get to meet so many interesting people!

DR Julie - Thank You. I'm just glad my first few days back at "real work" were with people I've known for years and always have a great time with. (Pardon my dangling participle.)

*I also got some pretty interesting "Disney dirt" today too. Bonus!

Hello All
Going back to work tomorrow a few days earlier than planned.

That is great news, Michael. I'm very glad you are doing much better, and are recovering faster than anticipated.

I had a nice walk down to Juilliard. The good news is that they had the Finale 2010 for $350, which is excellent! Until the Amazon dealer releases my funds held back into my bank account, I cannot afford to make the investment. I told the clerk I would be back by Friday for it.

DR KevinH, I'm glad you enjoyed FINIAN'S RAINBOW. Perhaps DRGeorge or another poster with better terminology than I can help you post your photo. You should have said something to Mr Grey; I think he would have been flattered.

And just where is the bookstore now, DR elmore? I just realized I haven't been there since the re-location and re-modeling.

Was the clerk able to tell you if any further proof of Academia would be needed once you purchased the software?

As far as I know, it's the regular edition.

The first piece of classical music that really stuck with me was Chopin's "Polonaise," which I first heard in the movie, A SONG TO REMEMBER w/Paul Muni, Merle Oberon and Cornel Wilde.

I hope I spelled it right.

SONG?

That's funny. Apparently 1:30 a.m. is not the best time to find Haineses online. We just docked in Sardinia and the day is beautiful. The termperature is supposed to get into the mid-Seventies.

Ron, I wish you had told me yesterday about all Italian men having wives but still taking calls from strange men. Davide would have been worth making a pass.

Oh well, there are other Davides in the sea.

Ciao, babies!

Ah, TCB. I lived/worked in Italy 9 1/2 years in my military career. Had I known much earlier that you were going to be spending time there, I'd have prepared a briefing sheet "for your eyes only" on things to see and do, interesting Italian expressions, etc. Did you by any chance see the house of the Vetti brothers in Pompeii? There is a very (in)famous mural there of Priapus using his "asset" on a set of scales. It clearly came out in his favor although the other side of the scale was heaped with gold or some other commodity of value. LOL.

Damn, Ron, I am sorry I missed that mural! I should have remembered that you were stationed in Italy for quite a while. That was in Naples wasn't it? Hey, maybe you know Davide?

Three southern belles on MILLIONAIRE - question....which playwright worked in the 1930's at a Missouri shoe company with a man named Stanley Kowalski.

They thought it must be Arthur Miller.....but their phone a friend at least knew it was Tennessee Williams. Even then they used their double dip....at least they finally tried Williams.

What kind of TEST do they give these people?

It used to be quite an extensive test. My friend Hal auditioned for this and for JEOPARDY. He's one of the smartest, most well read people I know with a broad range of knowledge in all fields, and he didn't make it on either show.

Hello everyone-

I'm back from NYC. I had a really great time!

I saw Finian's Rainbow Saturday and enjoyed it immensely! Thy cast is first-rate! I had never seen Kate Baldwin or Jim Norton before and thought they were just great! I had seen Cheyenne Jackson in Xanadu and was happy to see (and hear ) him again. Terri White has that show-stopping number, or course, and Christopher Fitzgerald is just perfect (and hilarious) as the leprechaun. The songs are so good (and it's always better when you're familiar with some of them). I especially liked "If This Isn't Love," "Old Devil Moon," and "..Glocca Morra." The orchestra sounded great ---I guess DR elmore had something to do with that! After the show I had my picture taken with Mr. Jackson. If I knew how to post it I would.

When I was walking back to my seat after intermission I thought that the man in front of me looked familiar. Sure enough, it was Joel Grey! I thought of approaching him, but didn't want to bother him.

I'll definitely try and see the show again.

Gotta go --I have a doctor's appointment.

Kevin

That is so funny. Years ago when my friends and I say Disney's AIDA, Joel Grey was in the audience that night, and I passed by him going to the lobby and just said, "Oh, I've enjoyed you in so many projects through the years," and he said, "Thank you very much." I didn't waylay him or try to stop him because I know celebrities going to a show don't usually want their evenings interrupted with fan gushings.

I watched BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY late this morning. I had never seen this version, and Paul Newman and Albert Salmi were so moving (particularly the latter; can't believe he didn't get an Emmy nomination.)

The Nutcracker Suite.

I can remember listening to the LP my mom had, from the time I was old enough (around 3 years old) to figure out how to use the record player that was in our dining room I would listen to that LP over and over, along with The Grand Canyon Suite and my Bambi LP.
